Abstract

Soils of the Arctic sea coasts are one of the least studied due to the complex logistical accessibility of the region, as well as the severe climatic conditions. The genesis of these soils is determined by several factors of soil formation simultaneously—cryogenesis, the influence of river alluvial processes, as well as the tidal influence of the sea. The paper presents data on the morphological structure of soils formed on the seacoast of the East-Siberian Sea (Kolyma Lowland, North Yakutia). Under the influence of cryogenesis and sea water tidal input, marsh soils are formed, with a relatively high level of salinity and the development of gleyization. Autochthonous and allochthonous soil organic matter play a leading role in marsh soil formation here, including the possible accumulation and biochemical transformation of incoming pollutants (e.g., hydrocarbons). The main objective of the study was to evaluate the soil organic matter genesis and alteration under the influence of tidal processes in coastal permafrost-affected soils as well as to obtain the previously unknown characteristics of the structural and elemental composition of different fractions of organic matter. The elemental composition and 13C NMR spectroscopy of humic acids were analyzed. It was revealed that humic acids extracted from the studied marsh soils accumulate up to 50% C and 4% N. Active processes of dehydrogenation are noted in HAs molecules, which indicates a relatively low degree of aliphatic structure development. According to 13C NMR spectroscopy, it was revealed that up to 45% of aromatic structural fragments accumulate in marsh soils, indicating a relatively high degree of organic matter stabilization and resistance to biodegradation.
